Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records, including Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994), established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995), made music history when the second single, "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop. After her separation from Mottola, this musical change was evident with the release of Butterfly (1997).
John William Coltrane (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes in jazz and later was at the forefront of free jazz. He organized at least fifty recording sessions as a leader during his recording career, and appeared as a sideman on many other albums, notably with trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk.
As his career progressed, Coltrane and his music took on an increasingly spiritual dimension. His second wife was pianist Alice Coltrane, and their son Ravi Coltrane is also a saxophonist. Coltrane influenced innumerable musicians, and remains one of the most significant tenor saxophonists in jazz history. He received many posthumous awards and recognitions, including canonization by the African Orthodox Church as Saint John William Coltrane. In 2007, Coltrane was awarded the Pulitzer Prize Special Citation for his "masterful improvisation, supreme musicianship and iconic centrality to the history of jazz."

This goes out to all my peoples in the city
Making ends meat, getting by
Thinking 'bout the hustle, everybody struggles for the answer
Confusion will attack in a cold blooded manner
But cancer kills my society, no need to lie to me
Real people fighting always try to be
Correct with the mental and upright with the info
Catching hell, paying dues but could it be so simple?
The dark cold planet, you can't take the drama
Don't worry, underprivileged got the bullet proof armor
Surviving's just a job as they dodge caps daily
People goin' crazy, everyone who raised me
Thanks to my moms, and thanks to my pops
And thanks to the youth rowdy on the roof top
Who warned me of trouble so son, get the bonus
I dedicate this to those who kept me focused
To my brother Big E, yo rest in peace
To the dead money makers, rest in peace
To my little cousin Shawn, rest in peace
To the slang gang bangers, rest in peace

This goes out to all my peoples locked down
And waiting for the days to see the sun and the clouds
The stormy weather came, of course, we ignored it
Praying for parole in prison, see the warden
Release from the pen, 8 to 10 on your feet
You're working, building, staying strong, watch the heat
Deceit lies snitching, you became a victim
The bitch sewed you quick on the phone in the kitchen
Nightmares and troubles, remembering the vision
Times is frustrating when nobody listens
Is this because they forget and regret
To acknowledge one another? But all do respect
To the veterans, experts, inmates in the cell
Keep your eyes on the prize, see you soon wish you well
To my brothers doing life, rest in peace
To my man on this disc, rest in peace
To my brother Carl Capone, rest in peace
To all the lost souls, rest in peace

[Intro: Buddha Monk]
I was only nine years old, when daddy left me
Poppa was always up to no good
This one here is dedicated to a very special lady in my life
She's my M-O-M-M-Y, she's a very special woman
and dear mom, I dedicate this song to you
[Chorus x2: Unknown sampled singer]
This goes out to a special lady
The one that brought me life
The one that taught me right
She always held me tight
[Buddha Monk]
Hey moms, I dedicate this song to you
You're my M-O-M-M-Y, my special brew
I'ma bless you with diamonds and pearls, and rubies too
Well this is just something for the things you do
Momma soon, I'll take you on a real long cruise
Sit back with some class, champagne just for two
You're overdue, so here's some things meant for you
Benzes and minks, friends that you never knew
Private jets, year round trips to Tibet
Ah, you and Janet sand, singin that bangin-ass duet
Finished yet? Malik will pour you Moet
with hand to hand service as the sun sets
You never guessed, the life could ever be this best
Sit back, just relax, you ain't seen nothin yet
You're my girl, my mom and my first love too
That's why I dedicate this song right here to you
C'mon
[Chorus x2]
[Buddha Monk]
Hey moms, they should've made a statue for you
Best moms in the World, yea, baby that's you
You tried to prove, the good times went down the line
Didn't believe, now I'm infested with drug crime
In these hard times and I'm still out to get mines
A motivated soldier on the hands of time
Cops draw the line, now I'm facin seven to nine
And you're still tellin me it's gonna be alright
That's why I love you, no matter all the things I did
Yo, you still turn around and call me one of your kids
When poppa slide, how was you to deal with all of us kids?
Yea, a family of four with the governor's laws
No more, now it's time to take a World tour
Breath the fresh air, we smell the sea shore
I adore, and I want to give you applause
Dedicating this song to you once more
Cuz...
[Chorus x2]
[Outro: Buddha Monk]
Aiyyo, moms
Let me tell you one thing
I can't express the way that I feel
All the things that you've done for me
I was one of those bad-ass kids gettin up
every mornin, doin all the thug things
You know, I didn't get many whoopins
when I did get a whoopin, it hurt
but I still had to do what I had to do momma
cuz times was hard
and there was no father there for us
but I knoiw you loved me
and I know you'd forgive me for all things I did
but if you didn't, I hope this song finds you at your best 'partment
You're with me in my heart, I love you and you're my favorite girl
I get one, I only get one, I only get one
(You're my momma, yea) My momma
I love you, mother (yea, sweet old momma, yea)
Feel the road to the riches
and riches to the road
cuz I'm gonna leave and go somewhere you've never been before
You're my woman, and I'll always see you
(Don't you want me in this World?)
I always love you to death, momma
We out, baby, c'mon
(I'll always love my momma)
She's my only one!
(She's my favorite)
(And you only get one, you only get one)
Yea (one good girl)
I love you, hahaha
I dedicate it to you Mama
People, sometimes I cannot
Believe how far I've made it
See not too long ago I could have sworn my dreams had faded
But as sweet sweet mother
Did always say...
When things in life
Become complicated
Always remain...
Dedicated.
You never let me down
You always stuck around
I know I upset you (I know why)
I know I upset you (I know why)
But I never meant to
Cuz in you we trust
You were always there for us
This song is dedicated to you (and you)
For making us feel like we do (Thank You)
I wanna thank you,
Thank you
I never meant to hurt you with lies (All the lies that I said)
But you saw the truth in my eyes (And my eyes can't pretend)
It's not a problem,
But it annoys me
The dumb decisions I make I was carefree
But somehow through all the stuff that you knew
The ass that I am
well I still care for you ....
This song is dedicated to you (and you)
For making us feel like we do (Thank You)
I wanna thank you,
Thank you
Thank you
Bada-ba-
Bada-ba-
Bada-ba-
Bada-ba-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This song is dedicated to you (and you)
For making us feel like we do (Thank You)
I wanna thank you,
Thank you
This song is dedicated to you (and you)
For making us feel like we do (Thank You)
I wanna thank you,
Stella stanotte a nordest
Brilla la neve sui monti
E nel silenzio che c'?
L'eco di colpi potenti
Torna del fondo di giorni lontani
Che ormai non mi appartengono pi?
Ora son solo anche se
Io sono stato di tutti
Non ? problema per me
Ho visto tempi pi? brutti
Che ho attraversato perch? il moi destino
Lui si, era pi? forte di me
E ho vinto anche in America
Io che non so parlare
Che avevo solo muscoli
E fame da sfamare
Arrivederci America
Ti ho stretto tra le braccia
Anche se ogni vittoria poi
Segnava cuore e faccia
Molti hanno scritto di me
Mille parole nel vento
Son diventato un eroe
Senzo volerlo un esempio
Ma il mio corragio era solo paura
Ed ? lei che ha combattuto per me
Arrivederci America
Sei stata miele e sale
Mi hai dato pianto e musica
Sei stata il bene e il male
Qui le giornate scorrono e come piano si consumano
Ma il vento sale su dal mare, parla di te, mi fa ricordare
Arrivederci America
Ti ho vinto e ti ho perduto
C'? sempre chi ha pi? muscoli
Per ricacciarti indietro
Arrivederci America
? l'ultimo saluto
Arrivederci ma ? un addio
Al sogno che ho vissuto
I just wanna tell you
MY love is here to stay
Girl you know that's one thing that will never fade away
I'm dedicated to you
You know there is no need to run
There's no need to hide
Whatever comes between us baby
I will push aside
I'm dedicated to you
Well my heart's an open book
I don't care how long it takes for you to look
don't let me be underrated
I'm dedicated
There's no use denying
That you I've heard it all from me
I wish there was some way
I could make you see
I'm dedicated to you
How can I understand it
I don't even try
There's no need to question
Maybe that is why
I'm dedicated all to you
The longer it takes
The more I see
This is the way
It's supposed to be
Don't let me be underrated
I just wanna have some fun
And I don't want to have to hurt no one
You just leave me be
When I'm all alone, I'm so happy, yeah
And I don't want to hang around
I don't want you to drag me down
Why can't you just leave me be
Oh, don't bother me
I woke up on the wrong side of bed
I got an aching in my big fat head
I drank too much the night before
Now I laugh at you as you slam my door
'Cause I don't want to hang around
I won't let you drag me down
Why won't you just leave me be
Oh, don't bother me
Don't bother me
Don't bother me
Don't bother me
Don't bother me

You got my old thing, hating on my new thing
Now because we do things, tripping ‘cause I have more fun with you
It’s ok, I promise that it’s ok
I ain’t with that, no way, that was old so I guess that’ll make you the new
‘Cause you got me, you got me so don’t worry, don’t worry

He was lashing with you right now, you name brand and he’s not gold
He’s short term and you’re long term so we can let it burn ‘cause I’m long gone
He will miss me while you kiss me anywhere that you want
You’re my baby, that’s why maybe he can’t take that I’m yours now
And I just thought that I needed to let you know that
There ain’t no way that I’ll ever turn around and go back
Now you know it and I know it, I’ll do what I gotta to show it
I’ve been kinda torn up since my last breakup
But ever since I met I’ve been feeling better
Everything’s been different and nothing has been the same since you told me your name
This song’s dedicated to the nigga that I’m fucking with

And I can’t wait till you hear this banging in the club
‘Cause baby, I never, ever, ever had nothing better
Not that I can remember, not before you, yeah
The day we, we got together all I could think about was you, oh, no
This song’s dedicated to the nigga that I’m fucking with
This song’s dedicated to the nigga that I’m fucking with
I just wanna let you know that this one is for you

This is dedicated to the one I love.
While I'm far away from you, my baby (whoo-hoo),
I know it's hard for you, my baby (whoo-hoo).
Because it's hard for me, my baby (whoo-hoo).
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.
Each night before you go to bed, my baby (whoo-hoo),
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby (dear Lord).
And tell all the stars above,
This is dedicated to the one I love, oh-oh, oh-oh.
Life can never be exactly like we want it to be.
But I can be satisfied just knowing that you love me.
(There's one thing I want you to do, especially for me.)
And it's something that everybody needs.
Each night before you go to bed, my baby (whoo-hoo),
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby (whoo-hoo).
And tell all the stars above (whoo-hoo),
This is dedicated to the one I love.
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.)
This is dedicated to the one I love.
[Fade.]
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.)
You and me (You and me)
We used to be together (Used to be)
Everyday together (Everyday)
Always (Always)
You was dead from the beginning, all i had to do was survive
In a race against millions where they lose they die
At the end of the race waiting so I used your guide
I found heaven in you, You shared your light with me
Gave me insight way before the light hit me
It's more than just a bone 'cuz we inseparable
Even when they cut the cord on the ambilocal
Never martyred a moment away
And fix whatever was wrong and always know what to say
The same way to my sisters and brothers
Always honest, and showed me what unconditional love is
The voice of a goddess, the stars twinkle in your eyes
My heaven on Earth or angel in disguise
If you was here I'd just hug and kiss you
'Cuz to me words can't explain how much I miss you
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together
Always
I watched the ladies shine, and stay on their grind
While the world weighed heavy on the lady's mind
It was a crazy time
It's like the world stopped fast with pap's pass in '89
The harder we cry, the harder you cry too
It's hard to keep going, the harder you try to
You tried to be strong and keep the fam together
While you smile with your open arms
You said it takes some time, take it slow, but time will take it's toll
And the stakes is high, 'till the day you die
But I refuse to accept eventually that I would have to say goodbye
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together
Always
I really feel that I'm losing my best friend
I can't beleive this could be the end
I'm starting to see how short life is
Every second it gets shorter, but your heart get warmer
And you get stronger
Even when they said you need a transplant and dialysis to live longer
You still managed to live life to the fullest for years
And then things got complicated
They found a donor so they operated
A gift and a curse, and concern that things took a turn for the worse
And even if I seen the signs I doubt the actions
Nothing had prepared me for what was 'bout to happen
The hospital; the 18th floor, vivid
July 18th, 2005 I can't forget it
It's that day I'll forever know
The end; the day I hope will never come
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together
Always
I really feel that I'm losing my best friend
I Wanna Cry
I Wanna Cry
'N' I Wanna Cry
'N' I Wanna Cry
(For Today, For Today)

[Intro/Chorus: unnamed singer]
Stay-ay-ay, stay dedicated
You've got to stay-ay-ay, stay dedicated
You've got to
[Heavy D]
Now this is called "Dedicated," though not a dedication
It's about an obligation in a love situation
Guys don't get your girls, girls don't get your guys
with a, relationship full of backstabbin lies BUT
I'm here to tow the line on all that shooting
Dedicating is the subject I'm speaking
on therefore I need your undivided, attention
Sit and listen to, what Heavy D mentions
[Chorus]
[Heavy D]
Pretty lady, I heard about your status
You're lookin for the boy, whose pockets are the
fattest
And, I also know about your bad repu-ta-tion
The things you so, inside of a rela-tion-
-ship behind their backs, you use and abuse them
But in the face you say that you love them
'til one day Prince CHARMING comes along~!
You say to yourself you won't do nothing wrong
Saw your opportunity, decided, to grab it
But first things first, you kicked your bad habit
Told your best friend you had the perfect life
But what can never go wrong, never will sound right
You see this guy that you're with is what like you used
to be
He takes a lover undercover, destroyed your dignity
It used to be a joke but now the table's turned
You're the one gettin dissed, so I hope that you
learned
that he was lookin for some action, some satisfaction
You thought it was, a physical attraction
Then one day, you caught your lover out there
When you asked him why he did it, he said he didn't
care
So remember next time, you wanna act crazy
what comes around GOES AROUND, pretty lady!
Lady, lady... dedicated
[Chorus]
[Heavy D]
You got yourself a girlie and you should be coolin
Tryin to play the role, but who are you foolin?
Your lady's not the one she knows about yo' schemin
Time to wake up, pal - stop dreamin
Before you know it what you got gets GONE!
You're sittin in the room with your head down mourn-
ing/morning
time comes, who's there it ain't your girlie
You said that you missed her, shoulda thought about it
earl-ier
Cause now you're all alone no one to play with
No one to squeeze you easy, or give your a kiss
Kiddly kiddly kiss, kiddly kiddly kiss...
There's a lesson to be learned, I hope that you're
learning
Cause if you disregard it's LOVE you will be yearning
What I'm tryin to say is this, READ between the lines
Don't make a commitment you can't stand behind
Cause in the long run it'll only grow worse
And the love that you have'll turn out to be a curse
You struggle wit'cha life, tryin to get situated
When all you had to do is chill, and stay...
Dedicated
[singers ad lib to the end]
Boy, I can't wait to see you again
You're the one for my heart, you're my best friend
Before you left we said I do on that special day
Now I'm aching for the life we'll have when you're home to stay
You're the sweetest love I've ever known
I pledge my love with this band of gold
I said I do and that won't ever change
'Cause my love is forever, yeah
Boy, I miss you so bad when you're not around
And I'm trying to stay strong, take the good with the bad
That's why I tell the world with a smile on my face
That I appreciate all the sacrifice you make
'Cause you?re the sweetest love I've ever known
I pledge my love with this band of gold
I said I do and that won't ever change
'Cause my love is forever, yeah, yeah
Even though we don't know when the war will end
You march on, hold your head up high with pride
Promise me you'll be coming home real soon
Patiently, I'll be praying in the night
Although we're apart, you'll always have my heart
You're the sweetest love I've ever known
I pledge my love with this band of gold
I said I do and that won't ever change
'Cause my love is forever, ever, ever and ever
You're the sweetest love I've ever known
I pledge my love with this band of gold
I said I do and that won't ever change

You know, given me the rhyme
Demons in the spring
I can hear them sing
";I'll be coming";
Whenever no one follows, nope
Dedicated all to you (me)
Dedicated all to you (me)Aaaaah, hope you've got a minute
Yeah, I've got a minute of time
For they all go, ";Fuck it if your wasted";
You know, givin' me a rhyme
Demons in the spring

";I'll be coming";
Whenever no one follows, nope
Dedicated all to you (me)
Dedicated all to you (me)
Dedicated all
Dedicated, dedicated, dedicated
If you wore one big mask
You'd never get a chance to kick ass
De-mons in the spring
I can hear them sing
";I'll be coming";
Whenever no one follows, nope
Dedicated all to you (me)
Dedicated all
As long as no one follows, nope
The string things out for string
So many for ";moi";
Dedicated all
Dedicated, dedicated

Dedication 3, can't wait till Dedication 4.
And uh, this one right here man this one was for my fans this was for young money this was for ya'll of course.
But this was for young money for ya'll to understand what I'm tryna do and ya'll to get a lil wiff of what I've got cookin over here and see what niggas is tryna do. Plus I wanna make it clear that every artist you hear on Young Money is most likely to be doing their own thing somewhere else so what I would love for you to do is to get, don't just listen to them over here actually get into them and see what they're doing everywhere, cause if they're good over here most likely they're great there.
I mean so, pay attention to 'em, they're makin moves. They're makin moves.
And if you wanna be down with us, it's easy. It's easy. Give a nigga some head or somethin.
Haha. No homo, not to the niggas though I ain't lookin for no more rappers.
I don't even wanna try, I'm straight. I'm lookin for straight, beautiful women. Naw I'm lyin.
I have a dream of a scene between the green hills
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
People don't talk about keeping it real
It's understood that they actually will
And intoxicated and stimulated emcees
Staring in the trees, paranoid, are gone in the breeze
Watch them flee, hip-hop hits
Take a walk with me and what you'll see
Is a land where the sand is made up of crushed up wax
And the sky beyond you is krylon blue
And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme
And emcees have left materialism behind them
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
And hope me and my team make it through alright
Because say what you will, and say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night
Because this is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same
And dedicated to the people advancin' the game
What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
I've seen a lot of shit, I've talked to a bum
Out on sunset strip, he asked me "How would you feel
If everybody acted like you didn't exist
You'd lose your grip, probably eventually flip."
So let it be known, the only reason that we do this
Is so you can pick it up and just bang your head to it
While emcees fight to see who can be the commonest
Be floatin overhead like a space odyssey monolith
Over seeing the game, over being part of the same ol' thing
It's all gonna change in a hurricane of darkness and pain
And acidic rain and promises that you won't do it again
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
And hope me and my team make it through alright
Because say what you will, and say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night
Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide
Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide
This is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same ol' same
And dedicated to the people advancin' the game
What's real, everybody who doesn't feel safe
What's real, everybody who knows they're out of place
What's real, anybody with nowhere to run

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe;
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue.
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you.
Baby, it's true.
Got a feelin' that you're playing some game with me babe;
Got a feelin' that you just can't see.
If you're entertaining any thought that you're gaining
By causing me all of this pain and making me blue
The joke's on you.
When I get to feeling that you're stealing love
And I don't know why, baby,
It makes me so discouraged
I finally get the courage not to cry, babe,
Or even try, babe.
Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe;
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue.
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you.
Baby, it's true; the joke's on you.
Baby it's true; the joke's on you.
